So everyone from Dyckman to the fam in Dominican Republic know Claudio Jr is a basketball fiend and one of the best to ever be produced out of Washington Heights/ Inwood to never make the league. I was young, dumb, and arrogant. My mentality more than my injuries really did me in.

But, after a few ACL injuries, I decided to turn in the dribbling for a pen and a clipboard. I still ball here and there, don’t get it twisted, but I’m now an assistant coach for Landmark High School in mid-town Manhattan.

We are 6-4 in the Public School High School Athletic League and I love the kids. Real good kids. I expect a playoff run and hopefully we can bring a title to Landmark in year numero uno.

Shouts to Eric and Arrick for allowing me to help out. Much appreciated.
